Compare all
5 And David and his men went to Keilah and afought with the Philistines, struck them with a mighty blow, and took away their livestock. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.  
6 Now it happened, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech afled to David at Keilah, that he went down with an ephod in his hand.  
7 And Saul was told that David had gone to Keilah. So Saul said, “God has delivered him into my hand, for he has shut himself in by entering a town that has gates and bars.”
8 Then Saul called all the people together for war, to go down to Keilah to besiege David and his men.
9 When David knew that Saul plotted evil against him, ahe said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod here.”  
10 Then David said, “O Lord God of Israel, Your servant has certainly heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah ato destroy the city for my sake.  
11 Will the men of Keilah deliver me into his hand? Will Saul come down, as Your servant has heard? O Lord God of Israel, I pray, tell Your servant.” And the Lord said, “He will come down.”

1 Samuel 23:7

SAUL'S COMING, AND TREACHERY OF THE KEILITES. (I Samuel 23:7-13)

it was told Saul that David was come to Keilah—Saul imagined himself now certain of his victim, who would be hemmed within a fortified town. The wish was father to the thought. How wonderfully slow and unwilling to be convinced by all his experience, that the special protection of Providence shielded David from all his snares!
